Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made light of the difficulty of replacing Jalen Brunson. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen. Unfortunately these statements make it clear that the team either does not understand or will not acknowledge what they actually need to replace.
Brunson’s raw scoring was impressive and important as he averaged an efficient 16.3 points on 50.2 percent shooting from the field, 37.3 percent shooting percent from three and 84.0 percent shooting from the free throw line. Those combined to equal a 58.3 percent true shooting percentage.
The most important part of his scoring is how much of it he created for himself.
